First off, I'm excited to share this tasty treat in the form of a FREE EP! FADE, was originally released on my EP Hiding Blind, and I finally get to drop the remixes! Its a really eclectic mix with sound and beats coming from Venezuela, Milwaukee, Philly, Maryland and of course the NYC. Remixes by Sonotech, J-Todd, BUSY, myself and a dope collab by Zaphyrn and Basil (aka Sir Froderick). Its FREE, so just grab it. HERE!





Secondly, we dropped C Train as a single a while back, and now have new remixes by Dj Dhundee (Sugarcuts) and Matt Shadetek (Dutty Artz), so we just put in out as an EP on Bagpak Music. Artwork by our very own Lichiban. Grab it HERE:

This eclectic remix EP blends the sounds of dubstep, dancehall and drum n bass, with the sexy-sultry-soul vocals of Sarah White, to make a fusion match-made for the dancefloor. As a Minneapolis native, this Brooklyn transplant, cries out through flo and song expressing the effects of life on the hustle and the grind, and the challenge of keeping a balance. 'C Train' is a sweet collaboration of time, space, passion and raw beats. The original is produced by her partner Dj Don Cuco (Cultura Love), and then given a completely new life when remixed by 3 masters of sound, Dj Dhundee (Sugarcuts), Matt Shadetek (Dutty Artz) and Heinrich Zwahlen (Basscut). Definatley one to get your heads nodding, mind expanding and hips grinding..

Hey, check out this clip from our show last week. It was off the chain! Before I moved to NY I ALWAYS played with a full band. Never over a track. Once I moved to NY I had to start all over and improvise, but damn, it feels good to be back in business. I had an amazing group of musicians and this performance, and it was such a blessing! Kiva on 88 keys, Rico on the guitar and Daru on the drums.. Like butta!

Put on a happy face..

NEW TRACK: REACHING UP'
PAPAJAZZ X SARAH WHITE

Reachin' Up- by Sarah White

Fade: Remixed

Fade - JTodd RMX by Sarah White

Free remix from JTODD!!!
This track, FADE, I actually wrote years..and years ago. It was one of the first songs Rico and I made that we actually liked. Its funny, the song is about our love fading, but years later, I still love my boo. Fade finally dropped on the EP in September, but this remix should come out soon (along with some other FRESH remixes!)
I'm too broke to give out free music very often, but if I do, it will be on this blog. So keep checkin for updates and new tracks like this!

ANOTHER BLOG?????????

Yes. I know. I am already "virtually" everywhere. You can find me on Sound Cloud to Facebook, Myspace to Coopr8, LinkedIn to Wronglips.. But I really feel like I need place where I can just speak my mind. Politic off the tip of the tongue. Shed light on beautiful things I see on the daily : sushi, dance moves, sex toys, remixes, underground events, kicks...whatever and whenever I see fit. So, this is it! SARAH WHITE BLACK. I added the "Black" for many reasons but the 4 worth mentioning: 1. I LOOOOVE being BLACK. 2. There are way to many Sarah White's online that are also in the arts. 3. As a personal reminder that I started the band Black Blondie, and the reference to BLACK came from a black singer in the band (lol) and 4. I just like it.

Below will fill you up to speed if you have no idea who I am. If you care, check it out. If not--stay tuned for the posts.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<This is me.
Birthname: Sarah Maricha White.
Born and raised in Minneapolis.
I recently (2007) moved to Brooklyn in search of culture, opportunity and the push I needed to get off my ass and live. Found it! I currently work as a singer/songstress/producer, photographer and writer--with a background in fashion, music and art.
Since I have moved to NY I have done some crazy things to pay the bills, but right now, Im blessed to have found this cute organic spot in noho that pays in cash. Bonus.

I have a beautiful family. Rico aka Dj Don Cuco, came into my life almost 5 years ago at a club. The Lounge. Who knew a few dates, one gig and a week in Mexico would give me a daughter. Iza. She is the sunshine of my life. See here:

Rico is not only my "baby daddy" but also my partner and primary producer in my music game. We just released our first EP, Hiding Blind. So far, we have had alot of good feedback and have been completely humbled and shocked by how many people love and support our music. Love you all long time. Rico is a bomb Dj (Dj Don Cuco, that is) and he plays some of the most eclectic sets of music I have ever heard. Even here in BK, when he's playing, people are always rushing him for the names of tracks from his set. Thats flava. He plays madd instruments and is a talented composer. The world will soon see... But he's mine ladies. Don't even step.

I have been in 2 other Bands- Traditional Methods and Black Blondie, but have also worked on collabs with artist worldwide.

Traditional Methods was live hip-hop. Political, jazzy, hippie.. kind of with a Digable Planets feel, but from the Midwest. We made music for the people, music for the soul. Played rallies, parties, colleges..Whatever we could do to spark a light. We released a full length, Falling Forward in 2004. Then split shortly after because I got pregs. Ooops. I still love our music though.

Falling Forward by Sarah White

Started Black Blondie with my Aquarian sister, Samahra Linton in 2006? I think towards the end of the year. At first it was funny. We had great ideas, but no one would be in our band. It was like pulling teeth. Finally it all came together and we were blessed to find a group that worked well together and made amazing music. Those were the days. We had a mini-tour to the East coast, and I fell in love. With Black people making music like me. With parties in Fort Greene bumpin' soul all night. With passion and art packed in each street in Brooklyn. It was a wrap. Without hesitation, the family and I bounced.... to Brooklyn baby! Black Blondie went on, and though the Black is gone, the music is still magical (MORE) and will slap people in the face once an album drops. I cant even hate on good music, no matter the drama. Sam can sing her ass off. She always will.
